Category 1 Hurricane Sandy is getting ready to make
landfall. East Coasters have already seen rain, high wind, flooding and loss of
power, and dozens in the Caribbean have lost their lives. Sure, it might mean a
day or two off from school, but sweeties, listen up: Whether you’re dealing
with the full force of Sandy or not, this storm is serious. Here’s what ya need
to do, now and later, to keep you and your loved ones safe:

5 things to do while you still have power…

- Plug all of your devices into surge protectors so they are
fully charged and ready to go if and when the power goes off.

- Make sure you know where your supplies are. Things like
flashlights, batteries, candles and matches are not fun to search for in the
dark
